What's so special about slope? Pupils first match cards with slope and y-intercept to graphs of linear equations. They continue the lesson by matching equations in slope-intercept form to the same graphs.

Learners first determine the slope-intercept and standard forms of inequalities given graphs, and then determine key features of the graphs.

Who knew quilting would be so mathematical? Introduce linear equations and graphing while working with the lines of pre-designed quilts. Use the parts of the design to calculate the slope of the linear segments. The project...

Combine algebraic and geometric strategies to find solutions. The task asks learners to find the coordinates of a third vertex of a triangle to create a triangle with a specific area. The project is a set of seven problems that...

Determining relationships is all part of algebra and functions. Your mathematicians will decide the type of relationship between airports and population and translate what the slope and y-intercept represent. The problem is multiple...

Here's a resource that models rising water levels with a linear function. The task contains three parts about the level of water in a cylinder in relationship to the number of golf balls placed in it. Class members analyze the data and...

Do women with college degrees get married later? Using a provided scatter plot of the percentage of women who earn bachelor's degrees and the median age at which women first get married over time, pupils conduct a linear regression...

Tell the story of the math. Given a graph of a linear system, learners write a story that models the graph before crafting the corresponding functions. Graphs intersect at an estimated point, allowing for different variations in the...

Students write linear equations in slope-intercept form and graph them. Students practice identifying slope and y-intercept and writing equations from a graphs.

Use TI-Navigator to explore the relationship between a linear function and its graphs. See how the value of the slope and y-intercept affect the graphs.

Students learn to develop the equation of a line from its graph. They also learn to write the equation of a line from the slope and the y-intercept, a point and the slope, and two points. They also investigate slopes of lines that are...

The teacher will submit an equation using activity center but will not show the students the equation.

This lesson introduces students to Activity Center and is intended to help students write systems of equations in standard form in slope intercept form to solve the system using tables and graphs.

Use the TI-84 Plus, Cabri Jr., and TI-Navigator to teach slopes and y-intercepts in your Algebra classroom.

Using the Activity Center, students will explore the characteristics of linear functions in the form y=mx+b. The major focus will be identifying slope and y-intercept.

Find activities here for linear functions, slopes and regression lines. Use them for classroom work or individual assignments.

Students will identify x- and y-intercepts graphically. Students will calculate the slope between 2 points. Students will write the equation of a line in slope-intercept form when given the graph of the line.

Students can use the x- and y-intercepts to find the equations of lines and create a line design using the slope-intercept form and the limited domain of the segment.

This partner activity is designed to have pre-Algebra students or Algebra 1 students compare and contrast different screen shots and begin to develop concepts needed to describe slope and intercepts.

Short quiz on identifying slope and y-intercept given a linear equation.

There are nine activity settings. Each one is a different hole of golf. Each setting contains a background photograph of a golf course with a white ball and a hole with a numbered flag coming out of it. Students must submit the equation...

This activity, inspired by a similar activity in a Texas Instrument guidebook, has served to be very useful in helping students develop concepts of slope and y-intercept.

Students can use TI graphing calculators and data collection to find equations of lines using slope-intercept format and graph.

Students use a graphing calculator to explore graphs of equations in slope-intercept form.
